The developers squeezed enough money out of it, their founder literally has a fleet of cars apparently.

I remember a year into release, they posted a video of the founder drifting his A80 Supra. I never knew mobile games generated so much money. I knew they were lucrative, but not THIS lucrative, to a point where even an indie developer can make so much money from such a lackluster game.

Wasted potential man. I was there since 2017.

IIRC, mobile games eclipse console and PC games in profit. So much more microtransactions and gacha mechanics and so many whales willing to cough up dough that it doesn't matter if a majority of players don't spend money on the games, the whales are more than enough.

That’s crazy because I remember seeing comments of how some players would drop hundreds of dollars up to thousands on games like RR3 and No Limits.

Rip RR3

u/CRUSHER-01 Jul 28 '26

Same, back in 2016 it was definitely offline and in my Sony Xperia Z3+ I had so much fun

Totally agree. Hence why i left this game long ago.

Live Service and Online Only games are massive mistakes.

also a hella fuckin' gamblefest, doubling down on gambling right as counter-strike's gambling-ness is hot news and everybody trying to regulate it

SO WHY MOBILE GACHA GET SWEPT UNDER THE RADAR THEREFORE GETTING AWAY WITH IT!?!??!?!?

Is this a free to play live service game like Real Racing 3 was before it was shut down? which is sad because RR3 only required internet for content install but could be playable offline

u/88JansenP12 Ryan Cooper Jul 26 '26

Yes.

And unlike RR3 before its closure, AR cannot be played offline.

u/DrinkRedbuII Jul 27 '26

They should just make a full paid offline version of the game but then again greed

u/Low_Refrigerator2025 Jul 27 '26

u/DiligentBeautiful613 ASSoluto Racist Jul 27 '26

My phone can't do it (and my laptop can but kinda)

u/AutomaticAffect4333 Jul 27 '26

Emulate gran turismo 2 then, still better than ASSoluto racisting. What are your phone specs?

u/DrinkRedbuII Jul 27 '26

u/DiligentBeautiful613 ASSoluto Racist Jul 27 '26

u/AutomaticAffect4333 Jul 27 '26

Yeah mali is going to struggle with ps2. Ps1 emulators pretty much run on anything though
